The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

I thought Sami was fine, and her scenes with Marlena were great. Never thought I'd say this but I'm sick of Steve and Kayla and I'm sick of them talking about Joey. Bonnie is blah, I couldn't stand her in the 2000's and I can't stand her now!! Please bring Adrienne back. |

Bonnie is so damn funny, I've missed her fantasies so I loved her scenes today! Some of her scenes has been a miss for me but mostly a hit. Ron writes her much better than JER ever did. Marlena & Sami were decent but I can't get over AS awful acting when she cries. *cringe* But I loved when she walked around in the DiMera manshion and just took it all in. That kiss at the end... :lol: Good episode today :) |

I am not skipping this one, I only get to see my couple about twice a month now. Backburner Brady, he has had major stories forever, get it a rest. I blame the writers for not letting Steve and the rest figure out she is not Adrienne sooner. Mama Johnson calls and says she is not my daughter and they won't let Steve figure that out. |

The only plus....Jo got a mention. She has been invisible for so long that it was refreshing to hear her name. Other than that...meh! |

I enjoyed the Bonnie fantasy. Probably because I enjoyed Maggie suffering. LOL |

Sami should've had the kids stay in Salem while she went searching for EJ. We didn't even need to see them, just one or two sentences about them every so often. |

I’d rather see her kids than the teen scene. |

I haven't watched the show in a long time, though I've kept following some of it through recaps and whatnot. And I'm kinda surprised at how nice it felt to turn to the channel and see Sami/Marlena, because Sami was my girl back in the day. Super comforting when things feel like they're out of control in a lot of ways. I don't even care if it was well-acted, or if the plot makes sense, it made me feel good to see. I wish they'd break reruns out of the vault so I could just soak in the nonsensical 90s stuff I grew up with, although there's something nice about them looking older (I don't mean that as an insult towards the actresses- they look great, but we've all aged and it's cool to see how they have). I may have to start watching again. Or at least popping in and looking at a few scenes every now and then. |

Sami talking about EJ wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The conversation quickly turned back to Will so that's good. |

Well yeah, me too, but if they didn't wanna have the kids then they didn't necessarily have to show them on screen. |

The show was not great. Bonnie's dreams were so funny. But they need to end this soon please. Justin how can this guy be a lawyer, he is so stupid. The ideas he came up with. :rolleyes: At least Steve and Kayla have a brain. Sami/Chad kiss :shrug: just came out of no where |

What a weird episode. If Sami's return is going to get any better for me, the crying in every episode she appears needs to stop. Crying is not Ali's strong suit at all. And like others, the Sami/Marlena scenes just felt flat. I think it was a combination of the acting and the generic set for me. Something needs elevating, and it sucks knowing that they don't have the actors, budget, or time to make that happen. On a related note: They're using the generic blue set in virtually every episode now. Please stop. I can appreciate Ron trying to camp it up a little with the Bonnie stuff, but I've never watched Feud or the other source material, so it was hard to "get" the humor of it. Also, anything that requires Suzanne to ham it up is too much for me. I'm also just failing to see any point to this whole story. I thought it would be the eventual reconciling of Justin and Adrienne, but that just feels like an afterthought right now. I understand why they brought up the Alfie stuff today considering that it ties in with Hattie, but all the Chad/Andre stuff still felt completely random today. And while he wasn't stuttering as much, Billy's struggle to remember or deliver his lines in a more natural way is becoming more and more obvious. Oh, and I guess Steve and Kayla's marriage is basically fine now. Ah, the magic of off-screen land. The final scene was weird. I read the spoilers and Ali's explanation, and what played out didn't totally match to me. She was reminiscing about EJ walking into the mansion earlier, but she seemed fully aware that it was Chad before she kissed him.... |

So there was a John/Marlena scene that was cut yesterday? I was so confused wondering how Marlena already knew what John tried to do. Why would they cut that? |

I believe that the actors and actresses on this show are given scripts and notified of RC storyline outline......but I think there is a major problem with the show. They can change head writers & even some of the cast, but there needs to be some change within the producers, directors and the editors of this show. I believe something happens and what is intended often does not play that way once the episode airs. I have read so many interviews by the actors and actresses over the past couple of years about their storylines and explanations of what their charcters are experiencing and then the episode airs & I wonder if the actor actress was on crack, because what airs is nothing as they explained things. Also... Something needs to be done with the sets, some production value must be improved. If the show is going to extend the budget to get AS back, to bring Will back from the dead. Than Marlena & Sami need Marlena's home. Lucas needs the Horton House and not the park bench. I don't care what they need to do, Marlena needs a house, Hope needs a house, the Horton's need a house and S&K need a house.. |

I think the difference in interviews is pretty easy to explain: they tape six months in advance, and then forget what they taped when they're interviewed about it months later. It's kind of annoying, but still understandable. I agree regarding the sets and whatnot, and I've had similar complaints. But I don't expect much to change because the budget is pretty non-existent. |

Dear lord I hate Sami that b*tch. How long is she staying? This episode was bad enough with Bonnie (JE) all over it but then to have Sami... “Don’t defend your husband’s actions to me... don’t, don't make excuses for John please, the way you always do.” Excuse me, you ungrateful twit... What has John done that forced Marlena to make excuses to YOU??? I don’t care what John almost did to Will’s grave. He apologized and of course wasn’t given a chance to explain because almighty Sami shut him down. God love Marlena for putting up with crap like this from her for eons. Poor Marlena having to listen to her blubber, whimper, scrunch-cry about having to search for that creep. Oh, and she’s going to kill “Adrienne”? GMAFB. Who is she to judge a rat in the sewer much less another human being? And seriously, she’s crying on her mom’s shoulder about how she can’t hope Will’s alive because she’s still looking for dumb Elvis, and that’s just too much for her to take? Are you kidding? How many things similar and worse has Marlena gone through herself? At least Kayla didn’t disappoint me with a radical change of wardrobe. |
